      i. The Boa Horse Boot and Old Mac’s Hoof Boots are both quick and easy to fit.
      ii. If you are having a hard time deciding between an Old Mac’s and a Boa Horse Boot consider the following:
          1. Old Mac’s have a more aggressive tread pattern and will provide better traction in mud or wet grass. Although the tread is more aggressive, it wears more quickly than the tread of the Boa.
          2. If your horse’s feet are short and wide, an Old Mac’s is a better choice.
          3. Boa Horse Boots are better for horse’s feet that are slightly longer than wider.
• Endurance riding or rides of extended length or time:
      i.

Without due diligence in use, the Old Mac’s and Boa Horse Boot can cause rubbing above the hairline. Neither boot is legal for Competitive trail riding.
